    The year is 3526. The earth has become uninhabitable, the humans were forced to flee. Scientists kept saying that they were going to be able to fix the world. They claimed that they had a solution around the corner, and just one more year. They kept claiming that until it was too late. They didn't have one more year anymore. While scientists were worried about pollution and the ozone, no one paid attention as the earth slowly moved off it's orbit. It was too late to change the fate of the race, the humans were on their way to extinction and quick.

    Most humans died during this time, most never made it off of earth before it became uninhabitable and eventually destroyed. The few that made it off of earth sought refuge on other planets with other races, yet were denied at every turn. The human race had so severely damaged the earth that no other race in the universe were willing to take in the toxic race.

    567 years, that was how long the remaining humans were forced to travel the cosmos, pleading the care to rulers of various planets and area's only to be turned away each time. Slowly the human race depleted close to extinction. Now only just over a hundred remained, one lonely ship full of bitter, desperate humans. Humans that were willing to do anything to get a home for their race. Whether by diplomatic means, or through the extinction of another race, they were going to get a new home. One last trip on one last ship, The Resilient.
    Basics:
    • You are a member on the ship Resilient. Everyone has a job, whether it is helping cook, piloting the ship, or cleaning the rooms, you all help out. Not everyone has to be on the landing team, but they are considered the most important members, for they will be the one to find a new home for the remaining human race.
    • While yes you are all slightly bitter, that doesn't equal a emo angry character. Everyone still has their own personality, some have more hope than others. Keep their past in mind while making your character and how it would affect them, but try to make everyone different from each other
    • There are limited supplies. You live on a ship and there are few people willing to trade with you, but some. Be creative with how you make money too, everything is shared but doesn't mean I will guild you through all of this. Be creative.
    • In terms of weapons, you can be creative with your weapons, but no death lasers. Also be practical, think of the time of this. Don't bring a mace when everyone else would be using plasma guns.
    • You all have spent a lot of time together, so plot with each other, talk. Make romances or enemies, but you all must be able to live with each other.
    • Have fun and if you have any idea's of plot, let me know I would love to hear it.
    Ranks:
    Ranks are in order from highest to lowest. The numbers beside are how many of each rank there are. I will edit in the characters names as the spots are taken.

    • Commander x1 (Garrett)
    • Lieutenant Commander x2 (Simon, Emma)

    Rules
    • Follow the general khv and rpa rules

    • Use respect
    • Use common sense
    • If there are any problems or suggestions talk to me
    • Post once a week please, or talk to me if you can't.
    • I reserve the right to add rules. For now I am keeping them basic because I trust you all to respect each other and use common sense to fill in what I didn't say and isn't covered in the khv rules

    Rank: Captain
    Job: Mechanic
    Weapon: Repurposed Mining Laser, A 36mm flat combination wrench
    Personality: Spiritual, Calm, Innovative
    Bio:
    Born as the first son, when he was two a younger sister was born. The system on board designated him to become a mechanic as he eventually would follow in his father's footsteps as a mechanic.
    From a relatively young age he was pushed into training out of necessity as the human race's numbers had diminished dangerously low and to maintain what ship systems they could so that they could atleast try and resist
    extinction. Cadmus learned he had a talent for it and under his father's tutelage he became one of the most skilled mechanics on board the resilient, doing his part to make the ship honour it's name. His expertise
    made him rise through the ranks and knowing how the systems worked made him rather useful in the day to day operation of the ship, his position reflecting this.
    Relations: Knows the Admiral

    ֎ Name: Dania Carrillo
    ֎ Age: 38
    ֎Appearance: Here you go
    ֎Rank: Admiral
    ֎Job: Navigator, Deals with paperwork and over all operations and decisions of the ship
    ֎Weapon: Holoscope Plasma Sniper Rifle, high caliber laser pistol, laser knife
    ֎Personality: Dania is serious and protective. She will do anything for her ship. She is intelligent and likes to think things through fully before carrying out a plan. She is a good leader and knows when to delegate but also knows when it is time to take the reins back and do things herself.
    ֎ Bio: Dania was the first born child of the pilot and the teacher of the ship, The Resilient. Before Dania was old enough to be assigned a job herself, she spent a lot of time with her father as he piloted the ship. She loved looking out at the expanses beyond and loved learning about all the different aspects of the ship and how they worked. She grew into a brilliant young woman, taking the jobs given to her as they came and slowly climbing the ranks. By the age of twenty-five she was appointed admiral of the ship. The previous one had been kill during a landing, and as a captain and the admirals right hand gal, she became admiral herself. By this point she was no longer an only child but had a younger brother. Dania used to take care of him as much as she could manage, but with her new role, she had to take a step back from that in order to do what was best for the interest of everyone else. Even with this she still does her best to look out for her brother even if she couldn't always be there for him.
    ֎Relations: Older sister to Jael
    Friend and coworker of Cadmus (But more of a working relationship more often than a personal one.)

    ֎ Name: Kathi Riersen
    ֎ Age: 32
    ֎Appearance: picture
    ֎Rank: Ensign
    ֎Job: Extravehicular Technician (out-of-ship repair/design)
    ֎Weapon: Gloves with activated plasma shield, standard issue phaser gun (c. 3000)
    ֎Personality: Optimistic, Confidential, Mannerless
    ֎ Bio: Kathi was not originally born on the Resilient. Kathi was originally the child of the main technician, Darren Riersen of the Everlasting. When she was born, her ship had been quickly losing members and was adapting a quick-learn policy for the children to develop and learn their jobs as fast as possible, which resulted in her quickly learning technician jobs and having already experienced a first-hand extravehicular experience by the age of seven. That happened to be the year her ship suffered an end to their food supply and serious failures that they began to relay emergency retrieval messages, assuming it was a lost cause. By the time this was received, there were only around twenty people left on the Everlasting, and most were children due to the parent's wants for them to live on above them. Kathi lost her entire family in this disaster.

    She was welcomed on the Resilient with open arms, and her particular skill set was useful, but it was not used as much on the Resilient for the ship was better maintained. She spent a lot of her time working on the robots that were generally sent out in her stead for outside ship repairs based on old designs her father showed her. She has as many items as she could realistically manage to bring with her from the old ship that she keeps as keepsakes and tools, but otherwise she tends to be accepting of the fact the Resilient is her home, and has been for years. And she tries to keep a positive mindset that one day they will in fact find a stable home to rebuild.
    ֎Relations: No close relationships. Casually knows most to everyone.

    ֎ Name: Jael Carrillo
    ֎ Age: 20
    ֎Appearance: picture
    ֎Rank: Lieutenant
    ֎Job: Xenolinguist (Communications Officer
    ֎Weapon: High caliber laser pistol, classic handgun (c. 2000)
    ֎Personality: Playful, Adaptable, Hyperactive
    ֎ Bio: Being almost two decades younger than his sister, Jael was met with very high expectations of him that he didn't really wish for. In fact, soon he began to stop caring about that and just began to focus on the things he wanted to. Jael became very fascinated with the history of the human race, from things his mother taught him, and became intensely fascinated in old earthen artifacts. Jael began to focus on language more as a result, and that was when he began being given the job of the xenolinguist. He was able to read and understand most of the archives that existed previous translators ran into. When his mentor died earlier than expected, he began working his job earlier than anyone really wished for him to. He has difficulty being fully up to the task, and also has a complicated relationship with his sister since she never really let him goof off, and she talks to him more like an admiral more than she'll talk to him like a sibling. He doesn't take kindly to it.
    ֎Relations: Sister is Dania. (message if you would like to have a relation with Jael, I'm up for it c: )

    ֎Name: Garrett Cartwright
    ֎Age: 46
    ֎Appearance: Here
    ֎Rank: Commander
    ֎Job: Handing duty rosters, taking command of field missions, overseeing the safety of the crew, ensuring that the Captain and Admiral do not put themselves in needless danger.
    ֎Weapon: High energy rifle and standard pistol
    ֎Personality: Straightforward, strict, and overall very "by the book". Rarely shows any signs of having a sense of humor save for a select few.
    ֎Bio: Garrett held the position of chief security officer for five years before his promotion, at the time he disputed it and wished to hold his old position, where he has stayed at ever since. He has seen more combat than any other member of the crew and bears the scars to show it. Despite needing both an arm and an eye being replaced by artificial parts he has never allowed any wound to slow him down in his duties. To him, remaining exactly where he is no matter the hardship provides some stability to the ship during troubling times.
    Despite his devotion to his duties he had still found the time to have a child of his own, Simon. His wife had been killed during a negotiation that had gone south and when his son was old enough to become an official part of the crew Garrett made sure to spare no expense testing the boy with everything he had to ensure his son would be ready for the dangers that were still to come. Garrett has had to be tough on all the younger members of the crew if only because the conditions has begun to make him see them as his children in a way.
    ֎Relations: Father to Simon. Knows the full names of every member of the Resilient's crew. Is a father figure of sorts to Emma.

    ֎Name: Simon Cartwright
    ֎Age: 25
    ֎Appearance: Here
    ֎Rank: Lieutenant Commander
    ֎Job: Medical Officer
    ֎Weapon: Refuses to carry one.
    ֎Personality: Hotheaded and stubborn when it comes to his workspace and easygoing when off duty.
    ֎Bio: Having lost his mother at a young age the only role model in his life was his father. After finding it impossible to imitate Garrett's work ethic and unable to bond with his father over shared interests as he grew Simon simply accepted being content with just having a father. There had never been an "ah-hah! moment" when he discovered his interest in biology as he simply just gravitated towards that area of study during his readings. Since he has known his father as "Commander Cartwright" for nearly his entire life he had grown accustomed to receiving orders from his father and taking harsher criticisms than others his age. Despite being outranked by his father, being the ship doctor does grant him with special privileges such as being able to order his superior officers for examinations--a perk he takes much pleasure from.
    ֎Relations: Son of Garrett. Casually knows most of the crew. Knows the others by name...and medical history. Childhood friends with Emma.

    @cstar @Captain Arch
    All your characters look great. I am looking forward to starting this after Christmas. If you haven't voted for where you want that chat to be, please do. I will be making the chat later today so you can start planning. Feel free to add Relations as time goes on and you start talking more with the other roleplayers.

    ֎Personality: Due to the intensive training that he recived early on in his life, Allec acts blunt in how he speaks to others he sees as either lower in rank or less skill than him. If it's someone of higher ranking to him, then he'll be acts as one would expect. Otherwise he's fairly distant towards people excludin Dania, who he acts "friendly" towards.

    ֎ Appearance:
    [​IMG]
    ֎ Rank: Lieutenant Commander
    ֎ Job: Helmsman/pilot (also skilled with piloting all the shuttles, safety pods ect)
    ֎ Weapon: Retractable staff with electrified ends, laser pistol
    ֎ Personality: Laid back, mischievous, calm, sometimes cynical, focused when piloting.
    ֎ Bio: Emma is a orphan of the ship. Shortly after she was born, a simple trip to gather supplies turned bad and her parents were lost leaving her alone on the ship. Due to that she grew up on the Resilient and the whole crew became her family. As a child, while she was never huge on studying, often getting into mischief, but she was fascinated by the ship's controls. She would sit for hours watching the previous pilot work, learning how everything worked and memorising everything. When she became old enough, she quickly learned how to pilot the shuttle, enjoying the challenge and freedom it gave her. She was quick to volunteer for any trips that required difficult manoeuvres or unconventional landings, thriving on the challenge and the chance to improve her skills. She has since been granted control of the Resilient itself, a job she loves and will take seriously.
    ֎ Relations: Garrett - closest thing she has to a father figure (even if she rebels a lot), Simon - childhood partner in mischeif

    ֎ Name: April Baxter
    ֎ Age: 39
    ֎Appearance: here
    ֎Rank: Lieutenant (On Leave)
    ֎Job: Navigator/Cartographer (Or I guess Astrometrics if you're Arch but -shrugs- )
    ֎Weapon: N/A, usually just a standard phaser
    ֎Personality: Responsible, Skeptical, Paranoid
    ֎ Bio: April was kind of a goody two shoes for the most of her early life, following orders to a t in order to perfect her chosen job as navigator. When she hit an old enough age, she was a little less strict, and became even less so when she started dating and married a man named Ron. However, as she was pregnant with her first kid, her husband was killed in the line of duty. Since then, she's been a pretty big shut in. Even after she had the baby and was told she was able to come back to the line of duty, she was worried that at any moment something could go seriously wrong and that she'd die, or she'd lose her little boy. Ever since then she's been rather difficult to open up to people about it, and very rarely leaves the room.
    ֎Relations: Friends with Dania. Pleasantly annoyed by Jael. Very good friends with Garrett (they also had a thing when they were younger).

    Note: Her little baby is a boy, his name is Keith. At this point in the RP he is two months old.
